Using the given figure, the ratio of Rf values of sample A and sample C is x 10-2. Value of x is . [figure]
Answer
50
Solution
Rf = distance moved by the sample from base linedistance moved by the solvent front
(Rf)A = 5.012.5 = 0.4; (Rf)C = 10.012.5 = 0.8
⇒ (Rf)A(Rf)C = 0.40.8 = 0.5 = 50 10-2
Answer: 50
